To conduct an evaluation, it is necessary to have the following:

• A good understanding of Interventions, including goals and objectives.

• A commitment to learning more about the strengths and weaknesses of the efforts and to improving their delivery.

• At least one person who is willing to be responsible for the evaluation and who may receive some training in design and analysis of an evaluation.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

• Preferably, a trained researcher or social scientist as consultant, e.g., from the department of health or education or a local college or university, who has relevant experience and can help, lay out baseline analysis and outcome evaluation.

From the information gathered, you could develop an action plan. Identify the activities needed to achieve each objective, who will take responsibility for the completion of the activity, when the activity will be completed, what resources will be required, and how effectiveness will be measured.
